Rizeigat traditional leaders to mediate between feuding Misseriya clans

A delegation of the native administration of the Arab Rizeigat tribe is expected to arrive in Sudan’s West Kordofan State next week in an attempt to mediate between feuding Awlad Omran and Al Ziyoud clans of the Arab Misseriya tribe.

In March, clashes erupted between the Awlad Omran and Al-Ziyoud groups of the Arab Misseriya tribe at Kilo 13 area after signing a truce.

Adam Agidat, the head of the peace and reconciliation committee in West Kordofan, told Radio Tamazuj that the two sides agreed on the mediation by the Rizeigat tribe of East Darfur, saying the delegation of the mediators will arrive next week.
